Be there or suck. :)

We had a great staff retreat the past couple of days walking through the Five Dysfunctions of a Team. It is always refreshing to take a looksie in the mirror and see how God has wired each one of us and where each of us need to grow and stretch. Anyways - it was a good time of growth for our team.

This Sunday we are at the Waterfront and I will be chatting about being an apprentice of Jesus. I'm Died For! :)

I rode my bike yesterday instead of driving my exhaust free honda and my back end and legs hurt. But at least I saved a lot of money on car insurance by switching to Geico - just kidding. Anyways - we are checking out for a few days to visit my sister and brother in law in Indiana. Tonight is the Pistons!!! Sunday is with Ron! And I can't stop yelling!!!! :)

generosity is awesome when you are on the receiving end.... what the?sd

Just got back from our Sunday afternoon life group. Did the family swimming thing! Lots of fun. Harrison acts like a little old man. Sitting in his chair, giving odd little looks, not wanting to break his routine... asking to read the paper... well maybe not that.

This morning seemed to go fairly smoothly. Surf City launched the summer camp stuff and I heard it went great. I get to teach the kiddos in a few weeks and plan on bringing the hell - fire - and brimstone! :)

I just found a gray chest hair. I am getting old. Just pulled it out. ouch.

Have a great Sunday! I might break my dutch reformed heritage and mow my grass on Sunday! I may be struck dead. I think I am safe since the sabbath is technically Friday at sundown to Saturday at sundown. (aka - Jewish Saturday).

Went to two graduation open houses today with the kids. Good times! I got to connect and reconnect with some people.

I need to spend some time preparing for tomorrow's teaching time. I have such high hopes for the whole three weeks that I fear that this first week will never meet my EMERGING expectations.

I was able to serve our local district for a couple of days at the church planting assessment center. This is a four day intensive experience to help identify potential church planters (people who start churches...) I was reminded again to be about the basics and to be faithful. The whole time was a great refresher for me - even though you are in a constant state of giving out.

Had a fire last night in the backyard. This was awesome. Vicki and I chilled out and chatted until late. Good stuff. I love my wife and I am proud of her.

Today is my dad and mom's anniversary. GOTO the DAVE DEUR link on the left and leave a comment of congrats to the big fella and my madre. :) They are great role models and friends.

Kevin "the stine" posted a video of our rag tag softball crew on a site. His honey did the video work. I cut it down to put my swing in slow motion so I could study the mechanics... I must say it is a horrible swing... I am babying that knee... See if you have any suggestions.
